But the ribbon-Cutting ceremony at

the hospital won't be over by then.

- Oh, it won't?

- No.

I'll make it two

for 2:
00.

Okay, perfect. Thank you.

So, yes, Clearbec is very pleased

To have funded this new wing dedicated

to children's cancer research.

And in addition

to this wing,

Clearbec has also funded

a hospice

For the out-Of-Town parents,

which will allow them

Extended stays with the children

during ongoing treatment.

So thank you, everyone.

To our future...

the children.

Miss Swinton, miss

Swinton, how much is Clearbec paying

To the South African government

to privatize the water system?

Miss Swinton! My message is

in the car. Just listen to it.

Miss Swinton. Miss Swinton, stop!

Back!

Your company killed my family,

killed my entire town.

Poisoned them,

then shot the survivors.

You will remember them.

Oh my god.

I presume I have

your attention now, miss Swinton.

- My country and many others

in south America... -

...Are in the war for water

rights. Who knows of this?

Few, as it is not happening

in New Orleans or New York.

The noise you hear

is gunfire.

Children, women and men

are being gunned down

Outside Tayca, Ecuador.

I recorded it.

I saw it.

Inagua, a local subsidiary

of Clearbec,

Your family's company, installed a water

- Purification system

For Tayca

and the surrounding area.

The system did not purify,

Just the opposite.

A very bad form of typhus

emerged in the town.

Francisco Francis broke

into the Inagua office.

Clearbec's own report

stated what was happening

And how they were involved.

Get down.

Get down.

And the army,

Clearbec's partner in Ecuador,

Moved into my town

and quarantined the area.

They had orders to find

Francis and kill any residents

That were trying to get out.

No one knew what to do

with the sick and the dying.

Then the soldiers

began to get sick.

They began

to execute everyone.

Okay, let's go.

Question,

jack. Why'd you quit?

I thought I answered

that question already.

Yeah, but I want

the real reason.

I stopped

believing in lies.

Including my own.

Clearbec has

provided you quality water products

For over 50 years.

Clearbec stands

for integrity,

Value, quality.

Your body is

over 70% water.

Over 70%.

You deserve

the best water possible.

The kid was my

assistant last summer.

Okay? How the hell did he get to Toronto?

Whatever.

He just blew his brains out

In front of my sister

at a press conference, tony.

Okay, Bruce, you should

never have authorized

- The use of force here.

- I didn't.

- Then who did?

- General Aquila.

- He said he had no choice.

- That's bullshit!

I saw it happen.

It was murder, Bruce.
